Currently a double-major in math and linguistics with minors in German and Japanese at the University of Tennessee, in Knoxville. I read a lot, and all over the place, content-wise. I also have a bad tendency to use German grammar in my English writing...which on second thought works pretty well for me. It didn't help that I was only formally exposed to grammar when I started learning German. ...And just to proclaim my dorkiness to the world: I decided I wanted to study linguistics after I read The Lord of the Rings and found out Tolkien was a philologist. That was the only reason I ever went on a language kick. Before that I was an art/history nerd, with emphasis on the art. Who knows why? Fate is inexorable. |
